Recovery Boot Issues

I just recently rooted my droid eris and I wanted to install a custom rom onto it but whenever I try to boot into recovery this happens:

Then if I hold power the up volume while that sign is there is happens:

On this screen it says:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
And at the top it says: Android system recovery <2e>
and it lists these options:
-Reboot system now
-Apply sdcard:update.zip
-Wipe data/factory reset
-Wipe cache partion

Congratulations, you are in recovery. That is where you install the ROMS you have downloaded. If you haven't loaded them yet, reboot into android and put the ROM you want on the SD card. What you see is the recovery screen.

Congratulations, you are in recovery. That is where you install the ROMS you have downloaded. If you haven't loaded them yet, reboot into android and put the ROM you want on the SD card. What you see is the recovery screen.

Lets make sure first. Download an app called ROM manager and see if you can flash the alternate recovery. Its one of the options inside ROM manager. If you can do that, then you are rooted and should be able to install ROMS as update.zip files.

Also, do you have an app in the app drawer called superuser? Its icon is a skull and crossbones.

Yes ik that i am rooted and i have superuser. Also I did download Rom manager and downloaded their recovery and that didnt work at all I still had my old recovery menu. I DONT KNOW WHY ITS BEING A *****

Ok, look up ROM manager and make sure your phone is supported by them. Also look into rzrecovery. I think it may only be available for the Droid. Its an excellent recovery program so hopefully you can use it.

Turn phone off
Press and hold Vol-down and End/pwr button simultaneously. Using Trackball scroll down to Recovery. It depends on your bootloader, but mine looks like this. My phone is full s-off though.
